External hosts (ex. 000webhost (screamerwikihost.net16.net)) should be avoided as well as many free hosting providers will easily terminate your website.

This guide consists on how to write articles on the Screamer Wiki and to keep articles uniform-looking. Anyone can add to this.

The page should start with a few sentences about the screamer along with an infobox. Then, if necessary, you may break the article up into different sections. At the end of the page, there should be a "Links" section with a screamer note and an unclickable link.

<!-- ... --> means a comment. Things inside of those are not required when writing an article.
This is how the page should look like in source editor.

<!-- Templates explaining the page -->

DO NOT use "he" or "she" if the gender is neutral; instead (in order of recommendation), use "they" (change the sentence to be plural) "he or she," or "ze/hir" (best used upon a gender neutral character in a screamer, but people may not know what this pronoun is).

Screamer links should ALWAYS be non-clickable. This does not apply to other links in the article, nor censored screamers.
Make sure the link is indented with a bullet point. The description (only if needed) should be bolded and before the link itself, which should NOT be bolded.

Adding humor is encouraged on the wiki. Just make sure that the joke actually makes sense. Look at RationalWiki and The Cutting Room Floor for inspiration. Also make sure jokes are not super offensive.

Profanity is allowed on the wiki uncensored. Profane language, however, should only be used in an informative manor and should never be censored.

However, obsessive profanity should be censored. Racial slurs should also be completely censored (with no hint to what the word would be) no matter what though (an exception to this are redirect pages).

Files and screamers are best hosted at the in-house host.screamer.wiki. If that is not possible, Mediafire, Mega, or something else is okay, however, make sure to avoid using Google Drive.
External hosts (ex. 000webhost (screamerwikihost.net16.net)) should be avoided as well as many free hosting providers will easily terminate your website.
